The much-loved and frequently visited Temple Newsam Estate is proposing road closures and is currently gathering public feedback through a live consultation.
Over recent years, Temple Newsam estate has experienced a significant increase in unauthorised traveller encampments, anti-social driving, illegal vehicular anti-social behaviour meetings and other illegal activities, particularly during nighttime hours.
